Even before you send a design to be cut, eCut provides a suite of tools to perfect the vector artwork itself. These "CAD functions" include:
: Calculates the expected cutting time and material costs based on line length and complexity. Utility & CAD Tools Measure Tool : Precisely measures circumferences and line lengths. Search & Replace Ecut Corel
: Estimates the total material area needed for a specific job. LED & Neon Tools LED Spacing Even before you send a design to be
: Preview your layout results inside a dedicated external GUI, change padding values, or click "Repeat Nesting" to let the algorithm find an even tighter configuration before applying changes back to CorelDRAW. Search & Replace : Estimates the total material
: Assists in calculating dimensions for 3D channel letters and boxes. Cutting & CNC Features Cutting Panel
: Manually position critical shapes on a sheet and lock them down; eCut will nest the remaining parts around your custom placement. You can also designate a complex vector shape as a container to nest objects inside it.
Unlike standard printing drivers that rasterize images, Ecut Corel sends vector data directly to the cutter. This ensures that sharp corners remain sharp, curves are smooth, and registration marks are perfectly aligned for contour cutting.
